Gavin Mortimer was born in London and now lives in Montpellier in the south of France. After an itinerant though enjoyable youth, Gavin began writing full-time in 1996 and has since contributed to a broad cross-section of publications, from Esquire to the Times and from BBC History Magazine to the Observer. His first adult non-fiction book, Shackleton, was published in 1999 and he has written a further five, including the highly successful Stirling's Men. The Longest Night: Voices from the Blitz was released to warm reviews in 2005 in both Britain and the USA. In addition, Gavin has written nearly a dozen children’s books, on subjects as diverse as the Aztecs and cricket. He has lectured on Ernest Shackleton and the SAS in World War Two to, among others, IBM, Allen & Overy and the National Army Museum.
